try to make plans you and your friends can mostly
agree on. there's nothing worse than going to a
new city, and everyone wants to do something else.

January is a pretty lousy Month to come here.
the Holiday's are all over, and it's windy and cold,
so make your plans as near indoors as possible.

in the winter, ice skating is one of the best ways to
enjoy the scenery. we have rinks on the river at
Chelsae piers, in Central park, Rockefeller center, and
the latest and greatest in Bryant park at 42nd & 6th.http://www.ny.com/sports/teams/

In midtown between about 30th and 50th, don't shop/buy
anything away from major chain stores. small flashy shops
in midtown actually prey on tourists, so if you have not
comparison shopped on the web for it first, just walk away.

panhandling is illegal in NYC, so try to ignore the homeless.
NY is very charitable and they have places to go, but they
choose to live on the streets and prey on tourist's sympathy.

anything sold by a street vendor as genuine name brand
is always a genuine fake no matter how authentic it looks.
if you want great fake items, go down around Canal Street.

I've been there. It's funny and sad at the same time... And it takes a long time to get there by train too so I wouldn't bother going.

The Bronx zoo is another story.. I'd recommend going there during the spring or summer.

Yeah, winter is pretty lousy in nyc but hopefully there's a benefit to global warming.

Of course, you'll have to go to a broadway and off-broadway show. And go see the museums (best in the country).. Eat the great food... Go to the bars.... Sometimes it's more fun doing stuff by yourself and not have to coordinate with people which is a pain a lot of times.

I think I've walked every inch of Manhattan.... Oh, wear sneakers... You'll be walking a lot.

Please stay in the hotel between 7:30 - 9:45Am and 4:30- 7:30PM.
Man i hate tourist looking up at a building or a map when they walk out of the subway.
I have family in Toronto so they always get a littled wowed by Manhattan, but then i takem to BAM or something in the boros and they seem to like it a little more.

Yes the subways are safe, so is central park.
Print out what Spypet sent you it's good n indepth.

Food is an important part of any visit to this city. If you really want to pull out all the stops, I'd recommend Le Bernardin. Bring a suit though. It is formal, but not TOO expensive (if you plan on not having any wine that is). I've always felt that a show is greatly enhanced if you enjoy some fine dining before hand.
